Lifetime Labor Supply and Human Capital Investment
We develop a model of retirement and human capital investment to study the effects of tax and retirement policies. Workers choose the supply of raw labor (career length) and also the human capital embodied in their labor. Our model explains a significant fraction of the US-Europe difference in schooling and retirement. The model predicts that reforms of the European retirement policies modeled ...
متن کاملIntertemporal Labor Supply and Human Capital Accumulation ∗
We solve and estimate a dynamic model that allows agents to optimally choose their labor hours and consumption and that allows for both human capital accumulation and savings. Estimation results and simulation exercises indicate that the intertemporal elasticity of substitution is much higher than the conventional estimates and the downward bias comes from the omission of the human capital accu...
متن کاملFemale Labor Supply, Human Capital, and Welfare Reform
We estimate a dynamic model of employment, human capital accumulation including education, and savings for women in the UK, exploiting policy changes. We analyze both the incentive effects and the welfare implications of tax credits and income support programs and we account for their insurance value. We find important incentive effects on education choice and labor supply, with single mothers ...
متن کاملAgeing, Human Capital and Demographic Dividends with Endogenous Growth, Labor Supply and Foreign Capital
We modify a Lucas-type endogenous growth model to contain endogenous labour supply, imperfect international capital movements, and estimated interest and education time functions. Solutions based on realistic calibrations show that (i) the rate of human capital depreciation through ageing has a much stronger negative impact on growth than further changes in the population growth rate or the Fri...
متن کاملA Lifecycle Model with Human Capital, Labor Supply and Retirement (Preliminary and Incomplete)
We develop and estimate a Ben-Porath human capital model in which individuals make decisions on consumption, human capital investment, labor supply, and retirement. The model allows for both an endogenous wage process (which is typically assumed exogenous in the retirement literature) and an endogenous retirement decision (which is typically assumed exogenous in the human capital literature). W...
